Braiding is in general use. 1t re-
lieves the lace and fiat galloon trim
ming ON jackets and vests. Braldlng
may be employed on light cloth,
woolen goods, cotton fabrics, silk, and
even on tulle. This is costly trim
ming, but any lady can make the
article herself.
Lingerie, with small colored dots or
designs. is fashionable for summer
use. Fancy batiste handkerchiefs are
bordered with colored scollops, and
have a long, narrow letter embroid-
cred on the corner in several shades.
The full name is sometimes worked
on this way.
A costume generally adopted for
morning wear at the seaside is of flan-
mel or cream and "bise" crepon, with
red and blue stripes. The skirt is
gracefully draped in '1aveuse" style
or else it falls straight with revers on
either side, lined with surah match
ing the stripes. Plated jackets like
those described above are better for
these dresses than an ordinary waist.
A white flannel suit, with striped
dark blue and white wooden goods, has
silk underskirt and an overdress
composed of blue and white striped
woolen goods and plain white flannel.
Down the front of the skirt is breadth
of striped goods placed lengthwise.
On either side of this are three wide
plaits of white flannel. Back OF
this is narrow panel of striped
goods. The back is of plain white
plaited flannel. The white unique
consists of an apron, which is raised
over the hips, and two mall draped
paniers. The back of the tunique is
also draped. The white flannel waist
has a deep collar, cuffs and revers of
striped goods. Down the front of the
jacket is full jabot of white flannel.
A Trouville correspondent cables
over the following from the swell
French seaside resorts "To 90 to
and from the Casino here ladies wear
black or white lace capelines, simply
trimmed with ribbon knots or bright
colored birds in nests of tulle or lace.
They are made ON wire and covered
with tulle i'm front, so as to keep their
shape and not be liable to crush
the hair. A great many gray Sicilian
dresses are embroidered in all shad-
ings of the same color. White. paint
ed felt hats, turned up on one side,
are used for lawn tennis playing. On
that side large cluster of knots sup
ports two goose feathers. For Ca
sino dance a sort of turban is made
like lawyers caps of black lace or
point d'esprit tulle, with huge gath
ering of the same. In the center a
jeweled aigrette or diamond pin is put
in at one side. These hats are very
light and prevent the sea air
from blowing the hair about
when the dancers come out
to firt in the grounds or on
the piazzas. Dancing dresses are al
most universally matter of lace-lm-
itations, of course. Over these are
straight side panels of Sicilienne,
either white, moss green, pale blue or
corn color. They are trimmed simply
with band of gold passementerie
around the edge of the sleeves. If
straw hats are worn they are very
coarse, and under the broad turned
up brim are punches of natural flow
ers, selected according to the floral
possibilities of the locality"
A Saratoga fashion correspondent
writes: "Black lace dresses prevail,
most of them trimmed with watered
silk and having silk sash, even
though the silk is not otherwise used
in them. Many white dresses heavily
trimmed with gold braid are to be
seen, most of them being of cashmere
or nuns yelling. One of the notable
costumes is a soft gray silk with a
baby waist tied with a gray silk
sash, ringed broadly. The dress
is nigh in the neck and sleeves, which
are adorned with pale pink ruching.
The skirt is full and perfectly plain,
and the hat broad white Leghorn,
dropping on one side and furnished
with an extensive white ostrich
plume, completes dainty and pic
turesque dress. A costume somewhat
suggestive of the Shepherdess at
a fancy dress party is occasionally
seen on the cottage verandas at the
Grand Union Hotel. The petticoat is
of white silk. An overlapping OF
green silk is drawn aside ON the right,
80 as to show broad panel of white.
Half shoes with big black buckles,
old-fashioned and square, and broad
dark hat profusely trimmed with roses
are worn with the dress. One OF the
most striking evening toilets is white
nuns yelling. The skirt is side
pleated from the waist with a
narrow back-draping. The waist
is a basque cut 'peek-a-boo,
a silly name, by the way, for a very
pretty effect. That which made the
dress interesting was q scarf OF the
nuns yelling, one end OF which was
fastened in with the shoulder seam
and the full sleeve of white null,
and which then fell straight over the
bust to the bottom of the skirt. The
effect of this was to form background
upon which the wearer's pretty figure
was daintilv outlined. The front view
showed simply a graceful draping.
